"In California, the issue registers with a HELL of a lot of people."

Would these be the same people who elected Gray Davis, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, etc?

Both your senators are Democrats, and so 33 out of the 51 seats in the House.

I hardly see the voter concern.

Nationally, the last poll I saw, the issue ranked somewhere in the low single digit percentiles. I think steroid abuse in pro sports was higher in the ranks.

When it came to the issue of licenses, over 60% did not want them. That means even some of Boxer's whacked out supporters are against driver's licenses for illegals too.

But once again, I expect Boxer to be in favor of amnesty, or giving social security to illegals, or supporting them. I don't expect Republicans to be on Boxer's side of the aisle.

Luis, they are the same people who recalled Davis and elected a Republican Gov.

They're also the same people who ousted Gumby and passed Prop. 187, and would do it again.

Nationally, even if the rest of the nation doesn't care what happens here, we in California DO. So I gues that means the issue gets ignored?

Luis,

Earlier in this thread, you stated that Immigration Issues were not even an "electoral bleep" I provided you counter-examples which you've not addressed. Care to?

---RE-POST---

So the CA's passing of Proposition 187 several years ago doesn't even count for a 'blip on the radar?" This proposition restricted state services for persons who entered the state illegally. It has been held up and nullified through various court cases, but this was more than a 'blip' on the radar.

How about the recent proposition which passed requiring English Immersion in the schools, resulting in a shift away from bilingual education? Was that not a blip? Was that not unrelated to illegal immigration?

How about the role the "illegal immigrant driver's license bill" had here in the recall of Governor Davis and the protests and petitions last year on both sides of this issue?

Are none of these a "bleep on the radar?"
